Create an image generation template

These templates are for image creation. You can define positive and negative prompts to control the content and style of the generated image.

Go to the Prompts page, click Create Prompt, and configure the following parameters:
1. Template Name: Enter a custom name.
2. Basic Information: Select Image Generation.
Enter the Positive Prompt and Negative Prompt.

A positive prompt tells the model what the generated image should include, while a negative prompt tells it what to exclude. Using both helps you generate images that meet your exact requirements.

Example:
- Positive Prompt: Generate a brightly colored night sky with twinkling stars and a meteor streaking across. In the background is a tranquil lake, reflecting the glow of the stars. The scene should feel peaceful and dreamlike.
- Negative Prompt: Do not generate any dark or blurry backgrounds. Avoid black or dark gray. Do not include city buildings, withered trees, or any oppressive elements. Keep the overall mood bright and pleasant.
After you finish, click Save to create the template.
